Why Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' Still Defines Sci‑Fi 100 Years Later

Before 'Star Wars'. Before 'Blade Runner'. Before every futuristic city, rogue android, or AI uprising you’ve ever seen, there was 'Metropolis' (1927).

This video dives deep into how Fritz Lang’s silent-era masterpiece built the visual language of modern sci-fi, shaped pop culture for a century, and predicted the world we live in today: AI, surveillance, mega-cities, class conflict, and the fear of machines taking over.

We explore: The story of 'Metropolis' and its groundbreaking themes, how Robot Maria became the blueprint for C-3PO, Ava in 'Ex Machina', and every seductive android since and why 'Metropolis' still shapes the future, nearly 100 years later.
